The track of the week is back! This week sees the start of a four week series on New Zealand indie-pop by Egg Records Jim Kavanagh. Thanks Jim!Look Blue Go Purple are most definitely portents of the Dunedin sound, but with a difference. This all female 5 piece added vocal harmonies and a touch of keys and flute to the mix to create their own brand of dreamy guitar pop somewhere between the Dunedin sound, the Raincoats and to the quieter Paisley Underground bands.
The band included four singer/songwriters - all with styles that were distinctive without ever straying from the band's overall sound. LBGP, of all the FN bands, seemed to add a bit more of a NZ feel to their music maybe it was the cover art or some of the eerie sounds but there is something rootsy and odd in there. Before the band called it quits at the end of 1987, ending they had recorded three EPs for Flying Nun. Those EPs are now collected onto a compact disc entitled "COMPILATION”.
Their second EP, "LBGPEP2" went all the way into New Zealand's Top 20. This featuring probably bets known song 'Cactus Cat'. I have selected another “100 Times” for this Track of the Week.Look Blue Go Purple - 100 Times
